Every year, the amount of water that evaporates and that falls back to the Earth in the form of rain is "constant": 513 trillion tons.
The pressure the mountains exert on the crust of the earth with their enormous mass prevents the magma movements in the core of the earth from reaching the earth and destroying the earth's crust.
The speed of rain drops, regardless of their size, does not exceed 8 meters in a second.
The world has to rotate about its axis at a certain speed (1,670 km/h at the equator). If the earth’s speed of rotation were to exceed a certain limit, the atmosphere would grow extremely warm, increasing the gas molecules’ velocity of escape from the earth and causing the atmosphere to be dispersed in space and to vanish.
